Sometimes, a Freudian slip can occur when you’re hungry enough to lose your focus, and that very well may have been the case for Hall of Fame NBA broadcaster Mike Breen covering the Boston Celtics in a recent game.
In the Celtics’ 96 – 92 loss to the New York Knicks closing out the 2020-21 regular season for the team on Sunday, Breen erroneously referred to Boston’s two way big man Tacko Fall as “Taco Bell,” immediately and hilariously correcting himself mid-call. Evidently, even (recently elected) Hall of Fame NBA media members can botch a call spectacularly at times, and this was perhaps as good (and unintentionally funny) an example as any.
Truth be told, it’s probably not the first time someone made that joke — just the first time it’s happened on a nationally-televised NBA game.
ok now that the dust has settled let us appreciate Mike Breen accidentally calling him Tacko Bell. pic.twitter.com/kPY8SSLnlt
